I can’t say that I’m a blog kind of guy, even though I enjoy
writing from time to time, on my own behalf. This is an interesting way to give
a little more context into what brought my wife and I into the understanding of
this family structure (biblical polygyny).
What a weird thing to ever consider, I thought, coming from a traditional
background that ostracizes those who didn’t adhere to the one wife for life
normalcy bias. But, for years this tug
in my heart has persistently grown. Not being the kind of man that bends easily
to the will of others, or impulsive, and understanding that I’m also not
perfect in any way… I had doubts about moving in this direction. I’m a man who places
my relationship with Jesus first, and if this was the direction He wants me to lead
our family, I’m more than willing to devote myself to it.
While reading scripture and pondering the biblical applications of a moral
relationship with several women within one household… I found this family
structure to be fitting, but only to those who understand the responsibilities and
devotion they require of a man. I asked the Lord, “If there is one thing in
scripture contrary to this marital structure of wives, I will not continue this
path but maintain the life-long commitment to my wife and our children, only.”
Needless to say, I haven’t… My family knows that I’m an honorable man, and once
I chose this path, my wife, children, mother and father are just as eager to
see where this leads our family as I am.
What I’ve taken from my studies is, men are given three options when it comes
to companionship with the opposite sex. One, celibacy… never taking a wife and
maintain only the relationship he has with God. Two, monogamy… an unbreakable
bond before God to one woman, after Christ. Three, polygyny… the unbreakable bond
before God to several women, after Christ. Each choice is measured by the
abilities and gifts of the man to endure, provide and the ability to maintain his
relationship with God. Simply put, a humbled man in right standing with God
understands his weakness or his strength in carrying the burden of wives, and choses
his path to walk. And burden, isn’t to say that a woman is a burden, a Godly
woman is as close as a man can get to the nature of God Himself on earth, but she
is a responsibility of the husband to hold her and his family up and comfort them
in a brutal world… to lay his life down as Christ did for the Church. Outside
of Christ… this family structure will always succumb to the world.
I am seeking someone who also has made mistakes but persevered and is the head of his family. I do hope and pray that I can find that here.
I never thought I would find myself wondering about polygamy. As a Christian, I grew up with one clear model of marriage: one man and one woman joined together before God. And yet, somewhere along my spiritual and personal journey, the thought of polygamy began to spark a deep curiosity in me.
At first, I wrestled with guilt just for being curious. Was it wrong to even ask these questions? But the more I leaned into prayer and reflection, the more I realized that curiosity itself isn’t sin — it’s an invitation to learn, to test what I believe, and to draw closer to God’s truth.
Polygamy is a topic that shows up often in Scripture. Abraham, Jacob, David, and Solomon all lived within polygamous arrangements at different times in their stories. Reading these passages with fresh eyes, I realized that while polygamy isn’t presented as the ideal in the New Testament, it is undeniably part of the broader biblical story. And that makes me wonder: what can we learn from it today?
For me, the draw isn’t about breaking rules or chasing something forbidden. It’s about the possibility of community, support, and expanded family. I imagine the richness of shared responsibilities, children growing up with multiple role models, and the depth of love that might exist in a network of devoted relationships. Of course, I know it wouldn’t be simple — human relationships never are — but beauty often shines brightest in the midst of complexity.
This journey of thought has been both humbling and exciting. I feel encouraged to continue asking questions, reading Scripture with an open heart, and talking with trusted mentors about what it means to follow Christ while remaining open to discovering perspectives that are new to me.
Whether or not polygamy ever becomes part of my lived experience, I see value in the courage to explore. For me, trying to understand polygamy isn’t about rebellion; it’s about seeking beauty, truth, and connection in the many ways love can take shape.
If you’ve ever been curious about something that seems outside the “Christian norm,” I want to encourage you: don’t be afraid to ask questions. Sometimes, the very act of seeking understanding can deepen our faith and expand our appreciation for God’s design in ways we never expected.
On November 5, 2017, the CNN series This is Life with Lisa Ling aired an episode titled Modern Love that gave viewers an inside look at nontraditional relationships. The episode explored how families across the United States are redefining what it means to love and live together. Rather than focusing only on monogamous couples, Lisa Ling highlighted people in polygamous, polyamorous, and other ethical non monogamous relationships. During this episode, Sister Wives was introduced as a leading resource for those seeking connections beyond traditional dating.
What Modern Love Explored
Each week, This is Life with Lisa Ling investigates unique lifestyles and communities that are often overlooked. In Modern Love, Lisa spoke with singles, couples, and entire households who are creating family structures outside the conventional mold. These interviews highlighted both the rewards and challenges of living in multi-partner households, including sharing finances, parenting responsibilities, and navigating emotions among more than two adults.
One of the strongest themes was the difficulty of finding understanding and acceptance. Many families featured in the episode described how lonely it can feel to live outside mainstream relationship norms. Sister Wives fills this gap by offering a dedicated dating and matchmaking platform for people interested in polygamy, polyamory, or ethical non monogamy. Unlike mainstream dating sites, Sister Wives focuses on connecting members who share similar values and goals, making it easier to find meaningful connections.
Everyday Life in Multi-Partner Families
The episode presented an honest picture of what daily life looks like for these families. Viewers saw how partners take turns cooking dinner, helping children with homework, or sharing school drop-offs. Their routines looked surprisingly familiar, with the main difference being that three or four adults share household responsibilities. Couples and groups also emphasized the importance of clear communication to handle jealousy, scheduling conflicts, and relationship boundaries.
Breaking Stereotypes About Polygamy and Polyamory
Many people associate polygamy with specific religious groups in Utah, but Modern Love showed that it is far more diverse today. Some participants were motivated by faith, while others simply felt capable of loving more than one person. Whether through polygamy, polyamory, or other forms of ethical non monogamy, each relationship was built on mutual respect, honesty, and transparency.
Polyamory often includes multiple romantic partnerships, while polygamy typically involves multiple spouses. Ethical non monogamy is the broader term covering many types of consensual open relationships. Each structure varies, but all require a high level of trust and communication. Families interviewed by Lisa Ling repeatedly emphasized that these relationships succeed when everyone is committed to ongoing conversations and agreements.
How Sister Wives Supports These Communities
Sister Wives was featured in the episode as a safe and supportive platform for people exploring nontraditional relationships. By focusing on polygamy dating, poly dating, and ENM dating, the app removes the uncertainty many experience on mainstream platforms. Users can connect with others who already understand and embrace the idea of multi-partner families. This sense of community is invaluable for people who may face judgment or misunderstanding from the outside world.
The families also described practical advantages of multi-partner households, such as shared financial support, reduced stress from dividing household chores, and extra help with childrearing. While legal recognition remains limited, many families create private agreements to protect themselves. Despite challenges, participants emphasized that the rewards of love, support, and partnership outweigh the obstacles.
Why Representation Matters
Lisa Ling approached the subject with empathy rather than sensationalism, allowing viewers to see the humanity behind these relationships. By including Sister Wives, the episode underscored how modern technology now makes it easier for people to find like-minded partners and build families that reflect their values.
Modern Love showed that there is more than one way to experience commitment and family. For those curious about polygamy, polyamory, or ethical non monogamy, Sister Wives provides a trusted space to meet others, share experiences, and discover what multi-partner relationships can offer. As society becomes more open to diverse ways of loving, resources like Sister Wives help make these lifestyles more accessible.
